北海道古来の住宅をモチーフに、壁と屋根を同じ膜材で仕上げた台地に浮かび上がるように建つこれまでにない実験住宅。光を透過する白い膜材は二重構造（ダブルスキン）になっており、閉鎖的な暮らしになりがちな寒冷地にあって、室内に明るく柔らかな光をもたらします。冬場は地熱を利用した蓄熱式床暖房や、膜の間に熱を循環させる仕組みによる断熱性能の向上、炉と煙突からの輻射熱で室内を効果的に暖めるといった先進の機能も備えています。また、室内には、CO2排出に伴う熱負荷などの温熱環境の変化や地震発生時のデータを自動計測するセンサーを数箇所設置。長期的なデータ収集と蓄積が可能な研究棟としての役割も持っています。

Using the traditional residence of Hokkaido as a motif, this is an experimental residence that uses the same coating material for the walls and roof, that seems to float over the green land. The white coating material that lets through light, has a double skin structure, that allows a bright and soft light into the room in the cold region where life can tend to be insular. In the winter, it can take in geothermal heat in between the coating through the thermal floor heating system. This not only increases the insulation function, but is an advanced function can efficiently heat up the room from the radiant heat of the fireplace and chimney. Inside the room are multiple sensors that automatically measure the data of the change in thermal environment such as the thermal load from CO2 emission. It also measures earthquake data, and can stock and collect data for a long period of time, serving the role as a laboratory.

“RETREAT IN NATURE（日常生活から離れるための隠れ家）”をテーマに、居住空間と牧草風景が生み出す対話を象徴した住まい。基礎部と屋根部によって定義されたひと繋がりの屋内の起伏が、周囲360°の大自然パノラマとそこに映る季節ごとの変化を居住者にもたらします。建設資材のエネルギー消費量を抑える仕組みや、積雪を考慮した高床といったサステナブルなデザインだけでなく、建設にあたっては、生成・運搬・建設に伴う炭素排出量を抑え、地域経済にも貢献できるよう、コンクリートの使用を極力控え、主に地域から産出される木材を使用。将来的な再利用も考慮し、容易に解体できるよう設計されています。

With the theme of “RETREAT IN NATURE”, it represents the conversation created between the living space and the pastural scenery. The interior undulation defined by the single connection of the base and roof parts, provides a 360°natural panoramic view for the resident and the seasonal changes shown through it. It is designed to reduce the amount of energy consumption from the construction material, and not only does it have a sustainable design with the raised floor in consideration of the snowfall, it emits less carbon dioxide in the formation, transport and construction process. It also uses timber produced in the local area and limits the use of concrete, in order to contribute to the local economy. It is also designed to be taken apart easily, with the intention of re-use in the future.

高さの異なる床、傾きの異なる屋根を持ち、それらによって環境が調整されることで、寒さと季節の移ろいを感じることができる家。主要な構造である互いに交差するふたつの壁が、4つの性質の異なる空間をつくり出し、料理、食事、入浴、就寝等すべての生活は屋外で行われ、屋内の居室は予期せぬ悪天候から避難するために作られています。4つの空間は、冬には雪を集める庭となる“Garden Room”、主室である “Outside Living Room”、急勾配の屋根によって、強い風から守られた“Room for Cooking”、そして最も外部環境から守られた部屋“Inside Room”と名付けられ、それぞれが季節によって異なる性質を持っています。

This is a house that has floors with different heights and a roof with different angles, which adjusts the environment and allows the resident to feel the changes in season. The crossing two walls that is the main part of the structure creates 4 spaces of differing qualities, and life activities such as cooking, eating, bathing and sleeping etc., are conducted outside. The room inside is created as a place to escape from unexpected bad weather. The 4 spaces are; the “Garden Room” which becomes the garden that gathers the snow in winter; the “Outside Living Room”, which is the main room; the “Room for Cooking” that is protected from the strong winds by the steep roof; and the “Inside Room”, which is the most protected from the outside environment. They all have different qualities depending on the season.

牧場としての記憶と文化を受け継ぎ、馬と人間の新しい共生の形を提示した「納屋の家」。建物は居住スペースと馬の暮らす納屋にセグメントされ、人と馬にとって快適な温熱環境を最大化するように設計。また、馬の排泄物を堆肥としてだけでなく、その過程で発生する熱を室温上昇に利用する実証実験を行う仕組みをもっています。壁面の炭棚は、馬から発生するアンモニアを吸収し、アンモニアを吸着しなくなった炭は熱源として使われた後、肥料として使われます。また、太陽熱の吸収率と断熱性能は、壁面の炭の分量に応じて自然と変化。人間と動物、そして建築との新しい関係性を示唆するユニークな試みにあふれた実験住宅です。

Inheriting the memories and culture of being a farm, the “barn house” aims to present a new way of co-existence between horse and human. The building has segments for residential space and the sheds for the horses and is designed to optimize the thermal environment for humans and horses. The horse manure is not only used as compost but also used to warm up the room using the heat from the compost process. The charcoal that lines the walls absorbs the ammonia from the horses and the charcoal that cannot absorb the ammonia anymore is used as compost after it is used as a source of heat. The absorption rate of the solar heat and the insulation function naturally changes with the amount of charcoal in the walls. It’s an experimental residence filled with the unique attempt to suggest a new relationship between human, animal and building.

2011年、“震災後の新しい時代にふさわしい新しい家”をテーマに行われた第1回「学生のための住宅デザインコンペ」で最優秀賞を受賞した「町まとう家」。今あるもので、今あるもの以上の豊かさが得られないか？　そんな問題提起から大樹町を象徴する「牧草」に着目。外壁材として牧草を利用するだけでなく、刈り入れ時期にケースに密封された乾燥させた牧草は、家内部の棚に収納することで壁としての役割を果たします。また、乾燥した牧草を遮熱スクリーンの代わりにし、発酵熱により室内を暖める実証実験も行いました。地域社会に溶け込むような平屋の住まいに、意欲的な試みが隠された作品です。

This Machi Mato House won the grand prize for the “1st annual residence design competition for students” in 2011, which was held with the theme to design “a new type of home suitable for the new era after the disaster”. Can something richer be obtained from what we have now? From that question, they focused on the “pasture” that symbolizes Taiki Town. They not only use the pasture for the exterior wall, but the dried pasture preserved in sealed cases at the time of reaping also becomes the wall by being stacked along the shelves on the inside. The dried pasture also becomes the thermal insulation by having its moisture transpire. It is used to warm the room in the winter through fermentation heat. It is a one-storied house that blends in with the local community, with hidden ambitious endeavors.
